There’s a tradition in Brea for how to celebrate fathers.
Line up cars of all vintage and style along Birch Street and let the dads wander and take a look.
The Cruisin’ Brea Classic Car show is in its 30th year, a Father’s Day must for many.
Visitors this Sunday brought cans of food and other donations for the OC Food Bank and there were also vendors to check out and the shops and entertainment of Brea Downtown.
